Has anyone actually purchased anything from them lately? Last I checked on Ebay they had a very mixed feedback record.

I've tried buying things from them in the past, and every time I ask about something, they give me a quote for the used part that is 75% or more of the new part, so I always just tell them "thanks but no thanks." Further, I've heard (and take that for exactly what it is), that they don't exactly run an honorable business, especially with respect to major mechanical parts (like motors).

Any idea what the disclaimer was a the beginning of the show saying Porsche was suing LAPD?

i thought at first you meant the LA Police. i imagine it's over the domain 911pcar, but it could just be over the use of the word porsche or their tag line "Porsche's Salvage Yard" or their telephone number 818-porsche...

i couldn't find anything on google so it's all just speculation on my part.

I noticed many of the workers had the logos on the back of their tee shirts blurred out. I wonder if LAPD has reproduced the Porsche logo on their tee shirts w/o permission?

That episode made me cry...

i tuned in about half way...

i heard the part "a boxster with a blown engine (the white one)" and then it went to commercial (of course)... lol.. all I could think was "IMS?"

That one black 993 that was all custom was pretty badass, and that rebuilt aircooled -6 looked sick.

Anyone notice the 914 on the "race day" part??? It made me smile!
